Domestic abuse is estimated to cost £81bn in a single year.

The #Budget25 must be the first step to longer term funding to respond to domestic abuse.

Every Government Department must prioritise #DomesticAbuse in their allocations, to meet the mission to halve VAWG.

Time to Talk
Talking about mental health is never easy.
Remember, every conversation matters.
Make sure to have a space in your day to talk about mental health.
Thoughts from ladies who completed our Own My Life course.

Cannot wait til the day we stop discussing ‘women’s safety’ and discuss ‘men’s danger to women’.

And if you’re more comfortable with the first term than the second, you’re part of the problem.
